Made with fingering weight yarn held double, this hand knitting pattern allows you to craft a comfortable and stylish pair of fingerless mitts. Mix and match your colors to taste, and add an optional thumb if desired.

This pattern requires the ability to knit and purl flat and in the round, pick up stitches, sew edges together, and weave in ends.

I design my patterns to be challenging enough for beginners to help develop and expand their skillset while being enjoyable to make, and engaging enough for experienced knitters to enjoy making it as well.

Minimal skill level is required to modify the fit: Add or subtract bands of color when knitting the hand to make the gloves wider or narrower, and add or subtract bands in the cuffs to lengthen or shorten as desired. One band of color equals approximately 1”, but check your gauge for accurate adjustments.
